Persuaded, paraded, enebriated, and downStill aware of everything life carries on without'Cause there's one too many faces with dollar sign smilesGot to find the shortest path to the bar for a while

A long way from happinessIn a three-hour-away townWhiskey bottle over JesusNot forever, just for nowNot forever, just for now

There's a trouble around, it's never far awayThe same trouble's been around for a life and a dayI can't forget the sound, 'cause it's here to stayThe sound of people chasing money and money getting away

A long way from happinessIn a three-hour-away townWhiskey bottle over JesusNot forever, just for nowNot forever, just for now

In between the dirt and disgust there must beSome air to breathe and something to believeLiquor and guns the sign says quite plainSomehow life goes on in a place so insane

A long way from happinessIn a three-hour-away townWhiskey bottle over JesusNot forever, just for nowNot forever, just for now
